Settings, of whichr the `:tolloyvingis a speci'-L screwfheads and the rough, unfinished part of the setting, so that the koutside appearance will be neat and ornamental.A

A further object isl to'provide a 'setting n the space between thebrackets providing Jfor embodying. such .ornamentall and concealing means whichis also readily removable toy allow access to `the screws or other `fastening, devices ofthe setting. l l

@ther objects of the invention twill appear Vfrom the following detailed description.

l The` invention consists generally iny vari ous constructionsand combinations,all vas hereinafter described and particularlypointed out in the claims.y 5 p ,f f In the accompanying drawings forming part of thisspeciiication, f

Figure 1 is an Ioutsideview'opta portion of a glass setting embodying my invention, Figure -2 is asimilar view with a portion of the ornamental .rail orlmoldng removed,

Figure?) is a transverse sectional'view` through the setting and a portion of the'window frame, showing the manner of'mount- `ing thevsetting thereon, p j

Figure et is a perspective view of ay portion of theremovable section fof theornamental molding or rail. f

In the drawing, 2 represents a window sill and 3 a stop seated on the sill and 4 a metal rail having one longitudinal zedgeseated on the stop 3 and secured thereto at 5,. A recess 6, preferably dove-tailed in form, is formed' in the rail 4 and adapted to receive a block 7 of suitablematerial, such as lead or liber. this block being adapted to bear on the inner face of the glass plate 8. The lower portion 9 of the rail Ltextends in under the plate and has a longitudinal edge 10 that is seated on a plate 11 which rests upon the .top

A rail or molding'l is provided, having an upper portion 14 adapted to bear on the setting embodying means for concealing openings.

of the sill 2. Blocks 12 of suitable material outer :tacefof the glass and a -rib p ortion'l, A

terminating in an inwardly projecting flange 16.v .Brackets l17 are formed to litthe inner side of the rail 13 and bear at their upper ends on the flange 14, the lower portion of in horizontal, outwardly projecting 'foot `portions 19. These brackets are of suitable width, from two to three inches, and are yarranged a suitable distance apart in the rails 13 andare secured in the vsetting by suitsaid brackets forming legs 1S terminating able means, such as screws 20. The' rail and the brackets maybe assembled at the (factory or atthe work, as may be desired,

asuitable drainage and effecting a saving in l metal over a construction where the brackets wouldbe continuous for the length of the setting. The rail or molding 13 forms a finish or ornament orythe upper portion of the setting yand to complete the work, I pro# y vide av lower rai-l or Y section 21 having a foot portion 22 adapted to be slipped under the portions 19 of the brackets and an upper orfianged edge 23 that is insertedinto the pearance of one continuous rail, "presenting a neat, ornamental appearance to the exyposed portion of the setting.

f Drain openings 24 are provided in the lower portion of the rail 21 and whenever desired, this rail may be removed by the insertion of a suitable tool into one of these l When thishas been done, 'the screws 20 or other securing means for the bracketsr will be exposed. "The rails and brackets may. be made of any suitable material, p referably'rl metal of'suitable thicky ness, and the 'surface of the'ornamental rail or molding may beffinished in' any jpreferred manner.

` l-'claim as my invention:

and a lower moulding section normally en tirely on the same side of the glass forming a continuation of said first section, said sections 4normally concealing the holding 2. A plate glass setting including upper and lower rail sections and means for securing onel section to the sill of a window, the other section being movable relative to said one section and having one edge normally interposed between the glass and said securing means, said sections normally concealing the securing means, and one section forming with the other section a continuous finish moulding.

ln a window structure a plate glass setting including a rail composed of separable upper andL lower sections entirely on the same side of the glass, means for mounting said upper section against the glass, the lower section having one edge seated on the sill andtheother edge inserted between the glass and said upper section and Yforming a continuation of said upper section.

el. In a window structure a plate glass setting including an upper rail section, brackets mounted on said structure at interkvals and having depending legs provided with means for securing them to the window stop, and a lower rail section seated on the sill and having an upper edge inserted between said legs and the lower edge of said upper section said sections concealing said brackets and legs and said securing means.

5. A plate glass setting comprising an upper rail section having an upper portion to be seated against. the glass and a lower ribbed portion terminating in an inwardly projecting flange, a lower rail section adapted to `be seated on the sill and having an upper edge normally inserted in the rear `of said flange normally concealed thereby,

and means tor securing said upper section in place and normally concealed by said sections, said lower section being separable from said upper section and movable into normal position while said. upper section is disposed in operative association with the glass. y

6'. A separable glass setting including a moulding section, means for holding said section to the glass, and a second moulding section normally ,entirely on the saine side of the glass adapted to form a transverse continuation of said first section, said moulding sections normally extending over and concealing the holding means.

7. A glass setting comprising an inner rail having means for bearing on the inner face of the glass, brackets normally mounted on the outer side of the glass and means for securing them to a window sill, and an ornamental rail composed of separable sections normally mounted on the same side of the glass. to conceal said brackets.

8. The combination, with a sill and stop and a glass plate and blocks supporting said plate on said sill, of an inner rail having means to bear on the inner face of the glass, brackets arranged on the outer side ot the glass and each having a securing means, and an ornamental rail entirely on the outside or' the glass in separable sections one above the other for concealing said brackets.

9. A glass setting comprising brackets each having a foot and an upstanding overhanging portion, means for holding the brackets in place and a moulding section having a portion normally resting under the feet of the brackets and engageable therewith, and a second section having an upwardly extending portion passing over the brackets and thence downwardly between the brackets and the glass, and aportion resting under the overhanging portions of the brackets to conceal the lower parts of the brackets.

l0. A glass setting comprising brackets each having an upstanding overhangingportion and an upper end to hold the glass and a molding section having aportion normally resting between the upper end ofV the brackets and the glass and a downwardly extending portion extending around the overhanging portions of the bracket for concealing the upper parts or' the brackets.

ll. A glass setting comprising brackets each having a oot and a-n upstanding portion, means for holding the brackets in place, a lower moulding section lia-ving a portion normally resting under the feet of the brackets, an upwardly extending portion to conceal the lower parts of the brackets, and an upper moulding section having a portion normally resting between the upper ends of the brackets and the glass and extending downwardly over the bracketsV to conceal their upper portions.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 17 day of March, 1921.
